A SERIOUS ERROR.

Passenger Traffic Very Much Affected by q
Clerical Error In the Interstate Com
merce Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 15-It was learned
yesterday from an authoritative source that
by clerical error one section Of the Inter
state Commerce law was enacted in form
very different from that intended. The
error was one of transposition Of clauses.
In the bill, as finally agreed upon in the
conference, there was the following:
Nothing in this act shall be construed 10
prohibit the issuance of mileage, excursion
or Communication passenger tickets" In
the final copying and revision Of the bill
two clauses were transferred, so that this
provision read as follows: Nothing in this
act shall apply to the issuance Of mileage,S
excursion or communication passenger tick
cts" The mistake was not discovered until
recently. There is, as will readily be per-
ceived, 4 great difference between the pro-
vision intended and the one enacted. In
the former the exception is limited; IN the
latter it is unlimited. By the latter it seems
as if all passenger business was exempted
from the operation Of the law, but this in
depreciation is at variance with other por-
tons of the law, which plainly apply to pas
senger traffic. One of the first questions
brought before the board will be the con-
struction to be put upon this section.

conspiracy to Blow Him Up with Dyna-
mite-The Plot Fails.
Sf- PETERSBURG, March l6-It was semi
omclaily stated yesterday that Sunday the
Police were informed that an attempt might
oe made on the life of the Gar on that day,
u oeing the anniversary Of the assassins-
tion OF his father. As q result the police
arrested several persons discovered hold
ins dynamite bombs in their hands ready
20 throw at the Gar as he emerged.
A dispatch from St Petersburg 70 the
Dasty Nstss says: while the Gar was re-
turning from the requiem services in the
cathedral OF st. Peter and St. Paul o bomb
attached to cord was thrown in his direc-
ton The intention was to tighten the
string, which was connected with the me-
chanlsm, and thus explode the bomb, but
before 1t could be executed the criminal and
his accomplice were seized. 1t was found
that they lived together in q lodging house
In suburb Of the city. The police visited
this house and discovered there q quantity
OF explosives and O number Of revolutionary
pamphlets. Over 200 persons have already
been arrested IN connection with the affair
and domicibary visits are being made
throughout the city. The German police
had warned the Russian authorities that an
attempt was to be made against the Cars
life. but the latter failed to trace the
plotters."
A dispatch from St Petersburg to the
Standard says that one of the six students
arrested in connection with the plot carried
hollow book containing bottle filled with
dynamite and poisoned bullets. The others
had parcels and bags containing bombs.
The dispatch also says it is alleged that
woman was arrested who had a bomb con-
cealed in her muff
A St Petersburg dispatch to the Hsnes
says: ''On Sunday the route which was to
have been taken by the Gar was crowded
with gayly dressed people. Before the i'm
perial party left the fortress the police
telegrsphed that they had grave suspicious
that violence would be attempted, and ad-
vised their msjesties to change their route.
Accordingly the royal party drove by
way Of the Neva Quay and cir
cultous route, avoiding the town.
Meanwhile arrests were made at the
corner of the Newsky Prospect and the
Great Morskaia, where the plotters cx-
pected the imperial party would slacken
its pace upon turning the corner. On Mon
day many of the 200 persons arrested were
released. A special council was held on
Sunday night, Grand Duke Vladimir pre-
siding. The would-be assassin is of short
stature. He refuses to reply to any Ques-
tions."

CHANG YEN HOOK, Chinese Minister,
sat for some photographs at Washing
ton the other day. He was accom-
panied by his interpreter and two or
three lady friends, who were anxious
to see the operation. His servant car
ried up to the operators room two or
three trunks and several smaller cases,
in which were ten or a dozen changes
of costume. The Minister was ''done"
in each of.these. and in as many differ
cnt positions. He wore a silk cap in
the center of which was large dia-
mond about the size of hazelnut.
The cap fitted so closely that the dia-
mond looked like huge star set in his
skull. Around his neck was necklace
of three chains, each of which was
about yard long, composed of
precious stones, every sixth of which
was a diamond. His Interpreter said
the aggregate value of the jewels
which adorned. the person of the Minis
ter WAS about million dollars. Chang
Yen Hoon is said to be the richest
man in China
